Horticulture and Civilization.

From the admirable address of Prof Nee
han, before the Pennsylvania State Horti-
cultural Association, we extract the
following: The grape seems to have beer
native of Asia, and native grapes are
found in Japan and China that are very
similar to our wild grapes. In the study
of the grape. therefore. we might have s
clue TO the history of the Indian. There
are forms of vegetable growth which fol
low man without any apparent reason
and certain botanist has claimed
that he could tell the nationality of mar
by the weeds that surrounded him.
The high civilization of the nineteenth
century is civilization which comes of a
careful regard tor the good of others
The earlier civilization was of a different
sort. Now the chief end of civilization
seems to be to promote the well being Ct
others, and in no line of material oper-
alton is so much contributed to this civili-
eaton as in that OF horticultural love
for and cultivation of the beautiful. A
striking illustration of a beautiful charac-
ter of this kind is found in the life of the
late Charles Downing Ga man of faith and
praver), whose death we SO deeply mourn
today. His horticultural pursuits
undoubtedly had moulding influence in
the formation ofhis character. A love for
flowers begets love for humanity; and
to love humanity and to look to its high
est. noblest development is civilization

More Light in Barns

Here and there we see an old-style barn,
built bv our grandfathers, the orly win
dow being a single row of panes over the
large door. Through this comes all the
light admitted to the barn, except what
comes through the open cracks between
the boards. When barn of this kind is
filled with hay it is comfortably warm,
but very dark; by mid wiuier, the hay
being half consumed. leaves the walls un-
protected. With the light come in also
the cold wintry winds 70 chill the cattle.
Our fathers built some barns warmer,
C vering the walls with shingles or the
cracks with narrow battens. The light
being thus shut out, it was necessary to
have windows, so they put in just enough
to enable them to see to feed their cattle.
1t was LETT tor our generation to build barns
that are tight, comfortable and well light
ed But even al present many farmers
do not realize the importance Of light in
a cattle barn. Experiments show that a
herd of mileh cows not only keep in better
health and condition by having plenty of
light but they give more milk. Every
barn should be provided with plentiful
light and sunshine on The side where the
cattle stand. The practice, which is too
far prevalent. CT keeping cows in dark
and damp basement is not good one.
They cannot have the sunshine and pure
air so necessary for good health. Wir-
dows that are exposed may be protected
for a iritling sum by covering them with
wire netting The day of windowless
barns has passed; but some of our new
barns would be improved by few more
windows.-Am Agrtcu!urist.

An Eye to Wintering.

September is the proper month to make
preparations for winter; but by little
engineering in that direction now we can
accomplish much that would be impossi-
bic to do at that time. If we now have a
colony that contains defective queen.
that same colony will go into winter quar-
tiers with old bees that will die of old age
before the next spring. Hence the time
to remedy such evil is just now. 1t is of
great importance that every colony contain
a good fertile queen, and that fair sprink-
ling of brood is kept up during the sum-
mer and fall months; and if queens stop
laying. as they sometimes do during the
fall months, they should be fed so as to
keep up brood rearing. | am led to think
that bees Matched In September are our
main dependence the following early
spring. Nuclei for queen-rearing should
be united as early as possible after the
work of raising queens isover. All uniting
that can be should be done in the month
of August or September.
